February Medal

The recent February Medal at Reay golf club was played in mainly dry and bright conditions with players hampered slightly by a tricky breeze.  Showing some mercurial form to take the top spot was Donald Mowat with a fine round of nett 66. 

Mowat also took the honour of recording the lowest gross score of the day, 73. His front nine of 37 was made up of six pars and three bogeys, and his round really came to life on the back nine with birdies at the 11th and 12th holes. A steady run of holes to the 18th gave him an excellent inward half of 36 which was enough to see him win by a single shot.

Taking second place following a nett 67 was Steve Efemey. Efemey has recently relinquished the role of handicap secretary and his successor may be taking a close look at his handicap of 9 following an impressive round. His gross score of 76 was made up of two halves of 38, with the highlights being birdies at 6th and 15th holes.

In third place a further stroke back on nett 68 was Gavin Gunn. After an untidy start Gunn got his round going with a birdie 3 at the tricky 3rd hole. After reaching the turn in 41, he continued to play some excellent golf for an inward half of 37 which included a birdie 2 on the final green.
